I have been given a PV panel. Its commercially made, on a stout piece
of aluminum I-beam. Its more than 12 years old, I know that, but
don't know the actual age. Its never been put into use, spent its
whole life stored in a dark garage.
It has 36 individual cells, each cell slightly less than 2 1/8 inch
(2.125")in diameter. It appears that all 36 of them are wired in
series. In direct sun, the no-load voltage that appears at the 2
terminals is 19.90 VDC as measured with cheap digital voltmeter.
Under those conditions, what might be an approximate amperage
available?
Please give me some examples of what this panel would be capable of
running or driving.
I could drive a device that required "X" volts and "Y" current.
What might "X" and "Y" capabilities be with this panel in direct
sun?
Thank you, folks.
